Lorelei—Cocteau Twins
Bonham playing with the Twins? Not quite, but they did use an E-mu Drumulator loaded with John Bonham drum samples on this album. I had no idea, but now I can definitely hear it!

Gepetto—Belly
I love the languid, beautiful vocals over the frantic guitars. I had forgotten about this song for a while, but it’s great to have it back in rotation! 💛

Goods (All in Your Head)—Mates of State
I dig their keyboards-and-drums setup, and the harmonies are catchy as hell.
The contest-winning fan-made video is fun, then sad, then "Fight Club" 📹

Petit Pays—Cesária Évora
I probably first heard Cesária on NPR, and that high, delicate cavaquinho strumming and her soothing voice grabbed me instantly.
It’s also great romantic dinner music. 🥂

Ghosts—Japan
This moody, intense meditation on panic attacks really grabbed me back in the day, with its marimbas and odd synth burbles. And it's such an unlikely hit, even for the UK!

A Million Miles Away—The Plimsouls
Power-pop surf jangle! Always a favorite of mine back in the day.
I’m a sucker for a wall of chimey guitars, and these are particularly excellent. 🎸🎸

Kentucky Avenue—Tom Waits
Another song that kills me. Such beautiful, affectionate music juxtaposed with the most hilarious childhood memories that actually make the song sweeter and more real.

Mass Romantic—The New Pornographers
My first New Pornographers tune, before I even knew power pop was a genre. I love the fuzzy guitars, the insane synth sound, and the gang vocals!

Sure, setting off fireworks in your actual apartment seems like a great idea!
I love the hyperpop / alt-rock / electronic mix going on here. Fun tune with some cool textures!

My favorite Talking Heads album. Love the angular artiness, the electro-African rhythms, the stream-of-consciousness lyrics, and Jon Hassell’s avant-garde trumpet. 😙🤌

I have fond memories of this song, from earlier today in fact!
Funny coincidence: I also like telling crushes I’m going to make them fall for me.

White Punks on Dope—The Tubes
It’s so satisfying when the shuffle kicks in on the chorus! And I'm impressed they’re able to pull this off live, but there are like 40 of them.

My favorite Siouxsie album, because the instrumental parts are so unusual. They dimantled pop music and put it back together in their own strange and beautiful way.

If I Can’t Change Your Mind—Sugar
Exquisite, joyful power pop about an impending breakup. The wall of guitars is about as jangly as you can get, and the euphoric energy is divine.

Intense, but also beautiful, hopeful, and true.
Love the Steve Reich-y piano and the live drums. Electronica played on mostly acoustic instruments!

Cupid—Sam Cooke
A perfect pop jewel: Latin sway, R&B groove, jazz swing, and a caramel voice floating over barely-there French horns and strings.
Timeless.

Sister Havana—Urge Overkill
Punchy, silly, and a total rocker. All you need from a ‘90s summertime anthem. The guitars sound amazing, and the stripped-down production is refreshing.

Hells Bells—AC/DC
Yeah, I love those moody, cinematic AC/DC intros. This one’s all about the syncopated accents (the beats that hit at the top of the head nod), and how they play against the straight beat.

That riff is a monster—angular, menacing, and almost math-rock. Even with overdubs, it’s wild that all that sound came from just three guys.

Interesting choice for the video, but I like it.
This is a great end-of-summer, drive into the sunset groover with a super-catchy melody. That gentle 4-on-the-floor beat is somehow super infectious too.

The hairy guitars are great, but the bassline steals the song with its groovy little details. The syncopation and countermelodies almost make the song funky. Great stuff.

All about the guitars, this one. They strobe like concert lights, pulsing on the “You Can’t Hurry Love” beat.
Edge is the best.
Not sure Bono should be swinging on that thing though.
